I just want to say, frick Chase Travel customer service. I booked a trip to Greece though them, one of the flights was cancelled, and they rebooked me with a 5 minute layover in Munich. I couldn’t understand anything the outsourced labor was saying on the phone because the chickens in her back yard were being too loud. Their only option was to charge me an additional 700 per ticket to get it right, even though I have her additional flight numbers I found on her own.

I ended up cancelling the flight, getting the points refunded, booked the flight myself, then used the points for a credit statement. Went back to AMEX Platinum the next day.

Been discussed many times. Usual answers are Chase Sapphire, Venture and Venture X. Also a few people say Delta or AMEX Platinum.

I think it really depends on how much you travel and how loyal you are to any particular airline or hotel and everyones situation/habits are different.

Venture works for me (I have a few airlines I fly with and not loyal to hotels at all) it pays for my pre-check and global entry. I’d probably move to Venture X if I travelled a little more.

Capital One Venture works just fine for me. 2x point on all purchases. Annual fee only $95.

Like the previous poster mentioned, if you are not loyal to any airline it’s tough to beat

Amex Platinum hands down for me. Tons of travel-related perks like TSA precheck, CLEAR, and more airport lounge access than any other card.
